Health & Safety

Everyone has the right to be safe in their homes, on the streets, at work and in digital spaces. But for many women, this is far from reality.

Right now, there are women and girls who are unsafe, mistreated and disrespected. Too many women and girls have been abused by people who were meant to love them. Some are even killed.

We know there is a better way. We all want to see a future where everyone takes up life’s opportunities with respect and dignity. A future where women and girls are safe from harm. We need to work together to change attitudes, support survivors and embed a culture of respect across our community.

As the non-consensual sharing of intimate images becomes easier with the advent of new technologies, it represents a serious issue concerning the safety and wellbeing of women and girls as they increasingly navigate and live their lives through online spaces.

Through the Our Voice Their Safety campaign, we are calling on you and your networks to join with us in raising our voices to improve the situation of women and children on Nauru, demanding our Government endorse an alternative, humane plan for all people seeking asylum in Australia.
